Creating Keyboard Products for Charity
Over the years, we’ve had the honor of creating a variety of custom keycap products to help raise funds for charities and community driven causes. From unique designs to limited releases, each project has been an opportunity to give back through collectible art like keycaps and desk accessories.
From concept sketches to final production, MKRO collaborates closely with organizations to design pieces that capture the spirit of each cause. Whether it’s a playful colorway or a themed kit, our goal is to craft items that collectors will treasure, knowing their purchase makes an impact.
Custom products can thrive in an active online space. From gaming groups and creator fanbases to hobby circles, fans and creators can support causes that resonate with their interests and values. Limited-edition drops, exclusive rewards, and digital collectibles are very popular amongst fans and supporters. This helps build loyalty within the community and showcase the dedication of the fanbase.
Products like keyboards and desk accessories are an essential part of our daily routines. Whether we’re working, gaming, or browsing the web, we all use a keyboard in some way. By creating and sharing custom products, brands and creators can strengthen their connection with their audience while celebrating creativity and community spirit.
Child's Play
Child’s Play Charity is a nonprofit organization that delivers therapeutic games and technology directly to pediatric hospitals to improve patients’ lives through the power of play. We created and auctioned a 1 of a kind keyboard as well as produced some novelty kits to help support the cause.

This one-of-a-kind keyboard was auctioned during CDawgVA’s Charity Event 2024 for the Immune Deficiency Foundation. We were honored to have been a part of this wonderful cause by offering our officially licensed Ironmouse Keycaps paired with a handcrafted keyboard by BarrettCreative.
Fight 4 Rare
Fight4Rare is a gaming charity initiative dedicated to supporting the fight against rare diseases by raising awareness and funds for life-saving research. Currently supporting the Raiden Science Foundation (RSF).
The Fight4Rare collection draws inspiration from symbols representing rare diseases: Zebras (for their unique stripes), DNA (which undergoes changes in genetic makeup that cause disease), and research (providing hope for cures). Additionally, it draws inspiration fromRaiden, the little rare disease warrior named after the God of Thunder from Mortal Kombat (and in Japanese mythology). The collection also features a stunning artwork created by Ori Bengal, who is known for creating art at “jaw-dropping” standards and uses his gifts to make a positive impact.
Creative Ways to Use Custom Merchandise
When creating custom products, you can engage your audience, boost awareness, and inspire others to support your brand or cause.
Below are three effective approaches we believe can help create that buzz:
Fundraising Merchandise
Offer exclusive items that supporters can purchase to contribute directly to your cause. Creating limited-edition products gives a sense of exclusivity and provides a meaningful milestone for that particular event.SWAG for Events
Distribute branded giveaways at rallies, conferences, or virtual events to spread your message and create a sense of unity among attendees. SWAG can be a powerful conversation starter and a lasting reminder of your mission.Gifts for Streamers, Advocates, and Supporters
Reward your most dedicated community members! Whether they’re streamers, ambassadors, advocates, or top fundraiser with a special merch drops or milestone gifts. Recognizing their efforts strengthens relationships and encourages continued involvement.
